Obama vs. "Heroes"

Tonight was the concluding episode of Season 3 of "Heroes". In a preview of the fourth season "The Fugitives", Senator Nathan Petrelli is seen successfully pitching a plan to round up all the super-powered to an African American President, who wholeheartedly agrees to his capture and internment plans.

See? I told you Obama would be a problem! But did you listen?

Before that particular scene had ended, I made several quick predictions for the upcoming season, including two that was confirmed by the brief promo for the coming season.

1.) The Heroes would become the hunted. (confirmed)
2.) The Heroes, and other extraordinarily powered individuals, would be rounded up and sent to a Guantanimo-type facility. (confirmed)
3.) They would be forced to work together to escape.
4.) The facility will be run by a cruel, meglo-maniac.
5.) Some sort of world-threatening event will be thwarted by the Heroes, allowing them a substantially favorable view in the eyes of the public, and Executive clemency.

This will all play like some sort of lame Marvel Civil War variant.

As sure as there will be a new dog in the White House (her name will be Michelle Obama) you know I'm right.
